Cindy Cashdollar in conversation with Rita Ryan of LocalMotion 1.31.24

Dwa tygodnie temu młodsza połówka naszego podcastu opowiedziała o tym, co to znaczy przez kilkanaście godzin być świadkiem największej muzycznej uczty muzycznej, którą przygotowały w Kalifornii największe legendy rocka, bluesa, country i bluegrassu. Ale jeśli myśleliście, że to pierwszy dzień koncertów był naprawdę epicki to poczekajcie, aż Kuba opowie co się działo przez kolejną dobę!!! Wystarczy nadmienić, że nawet mając ok. 500 przeżytych koncertów w roli widza, to właśnie te z ostatniego dnia festiwalu sprawiły, że płakał jak dziecko, nie wierząc w to, co widzi i słyszy. Posłuchajcie więc jakie niesamowite rzeczy wydarzyły się w niedzielę 24-go września br. w arenie gdzie odbywają się koncerty VII Crossroads Guitar Festival. Kuba je na pewno zapamięta na zawsze

Nasz naczelny koncertoholik - podcaster Pick Please! spełnił jedno ze swoich życiowych marzeń koncertowych, wybierając się na VII Crossroads Guitar Festival organizowany przez Erica Claptona w Los Angeles. Dla fanów gitary i muzycznych legend bluesa czy rocka, kilka pełnych dni słuchania na żywo muzyki na tym festiwalu to prawdziwa uczta dla duszy. Zwłaszcza jeśli chce się doświadczyć również legend, które nie pojawiają się w Europie.Jak to jest kupować bilety na koncert, na plaży w Barcelonie przez telefon? Co się wydarzyło w samolocie do Ameryki, że Kuba zaczął wątpić czy doleci na koncerty pierwszego dnia? Jak to jest nie móc pójść przez kilkanaście godzin do toalety bo muzycznie się dzieje aż tyle?Posłuchajcie jak Kuba opowiada o pierwszym dniu koncertów jedynego w swoim rodzaju festiwalu muzycznego jakim jest Crossroads Guitar Festival. muzyka: Łukasz WojciechowskiZachęcamy też do śledzenia naszego profilu na Facebooku - https://www.facebook.com/PickPlease/oraz Instagramie - https://tiny.pl/cxk21 LINKOWNIA:Wikipedia:Bill Murray - https://tiny.pl/clflr Profile artystów na Spotify:Eric Clapton - https://tiny.pl/clfj9 Gary Clark Jr - https://tiny.pl/clfjd Josh Smith - https://tiny.pl/clfj5 Sonny Landreth - https://tiny.pl/clfj1 Artur Menezes - https://tiny.pl/clfjp Kurt Rosenwinkel - https://tiny.pl/clfj4 Joe Bonamassa - https://tiny.pl/clfj8 The Wallflowers - https://tiny.pl/clfpq Jimmie Vaughan - https://tiny.pl/clfpm John Mayer Trio - https://tiny.pl/clfpt Ariel Posen - https://tiny.pl/clfp9 Christone “Kingfish” Ingram - https://tiny.pl/clfpc John McLaughlin - https://tiny.pl/clfpf Nathan East - https://tiny.pl/clfp5 The Del McCoury Band - https://tiny.pl/clfpb Cindy Cashdollar - https://tiny.pl/clfpj Jesse Cook - https://tiny.pl/clf4q Todd Wolfe - https://tiny.pl/clf4w The Zac Schulze Band - https://tiny.pl/clf47 Bradley Walker - https://tiny.pl/clf4h The Bros.

Ep444: New music from Tyller Gummersall, Cindy Cashdollar, Miss Tess, Nick Pagliari, Western Centuries, Jim Lauderdale amd many more... "For people who went to Heartbreak College" originated from Americana Music Show.

Cindy Cashdollar is a non-pedal steel guitar and Dobro musician and she discusses her colorful career on The Rick Z Show.  With an emphasis on her instrument, Cindy talks about her development through Bluegrass, Western Swing, Blues, and even Rock and roll. The 5 time Grammy winner has worked with such diverse artists as Sonny Landreth, Rod Stewert, Bob Dyan, Willy Nelson, Ryan Adams, Asleep at the Wheel, and many others.

My guest this month is a Canadian-born, Austin-based guitar player of the highest calibre, Redd Volkaert. Redd grew up not far from where I did, just outside of Vancouver, Canada. He spent years cutting his teeth and learning to play in the seedy country cars of Canada, before packing up and heading south, embarking on adventures in music through California and Nashville, before landing an incredible (and well-deserved) gig as guitar player for Merle Haggard, for whom he played and recorded with for many years. Redd is now a regular fixture around Austin, Texas, playing regularly at The Continental Club, The Saxon Pub and other great venues with his own group, Haybale! and shows with the likes of Cindy Cashdollar and Bill Kirchen. I had a chance to catch up with Redd recently and talk about his fascinating history, influences, playing and recording with Merle, and much more. Enjoy my conversation with Redd Volkaert!

Cindy Cashdollar is one of the top dobro, non-pedal steel guitar, and lap steel players in the country. She’s toured and played with Ryan Adams, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, Albert Lee, Asleep At The Wheel, Rory Block, Jorma Kaukonen, Leon Redbone, Marcia Ball, Daniel Lanois, Redd Volkaert, Paul Butterfield, Levon Helm and Rick Danko from The Band, Sonny Landreth, Amy Helm and even the New York Knicks! Cindy never intended to become a musician, playing dobro was just a fun hobby for her, and she shares some great stories about how she wound up meeting Bob Dylan… Paul Butterfield, Levon Helm and Rick Danko from The Band… Jorma Kaukonen… Van Morrison… and Redd Volkaert. And her journey to earning 5 Grammy’s with Asleep At The Wheel is a lesson in persistence, determination, and having the guts to go for what you want - even when you may not be 100% sure of yourself. This was a GREAT conversation with a talented, professional, and classy woman...

Girls who Jam: Women's history month

How appropriate that our 50th podcast is a Valentine's Day card. But also a celebration of the Presidents' birthdays. Harry has a poem about Washington and a song, too. There's lots of love. Also, Cindy Cashdollar on dobro helps Steve and Harry sing that rousing number, "Washington At Valley Forge."

We talk to a lot of unique individuals on this podcast and luthier Larry Pogreba is certainly no exception. Pogreba divides his time between homes in New Mexico and an off-the-grid homestead in Montana and builds resonator guitars, Weissenborns and acoustics that often feature recycled / reclaimed metal, bullet casings for inlays and all sorts of other adornments that harken to American steel and the Wild West. His instruments have landed in the hands of Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, David Lindley, Cindy Cashdollar and others. In fact, one of the most prolific Pogreba instrument collectors around is the acclaimed Darrell Scott, who is featured in the new Fretboard Journal #41. On today's podcast, we talk to Larry about how the Danny Ferrington book got him turned onto guitarmaking, how he splits his time between two homes/workshops, his unique guitar (and cannon!) builds and much more.  This episode is sponsored by our friends at Dying Breed Music. 

The Ventriloquist Police come in to check whether Steve's lips move when Harry talks. When they catch him in the act, they take him away to jail leaving Harry to host the show alone. Cindy Cashdollar, the great dobro player helps Steve sing "Hey Goodlookin'." 

Cindy Cashdollar is a dobro player extraordinaire. She's played with Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson, Leon Redbone, Peter Rowan, The Band, Paul Butterfield, and others. She won five Grammy awards when working with Asleep At The Wheel. Steve rewrote "Cocaine Blues" and made it "Caffeine Blues." She's helping him do it on this podcast. Also, there's a question whether the evil Steve and Harry have taken over the show and locked the good Steve and Harry in the closet. Did they? Stream this podcast and find out. Steve and Harry also sing a song on the piano "The Woodstock Strutter's Ball." All in all, a good time is had by all. 

Steve's guest, Cindy Cashdollar is a dobro player who has won 5 Grammy awards and has played with Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Rod Stewart and Asleep At The Wheel, Willie Nelson, and the Dixie Chicks to name a few. Now she plays with Harry! Sister Kate is an old favorite from the 1920's. Later in the podcast, she performs the Sailor's Hornpipe. Harry has kleptomania and everything starts disappearing. Dr. Fenstermacher comes in to treat him and suggests another mania to replace it. How about Bananamania? Stevemania? Oh, the possibilities are endless.

It only takes a few seconds of watching Mike Bram play drums to know how much joy it brings him. The same can be said of talking to him about music and the incredible journey he’s been on since he climbed behind his first kit at just five years old. While Mike has spent the last several years on tour with Jason Mraz as both his drummer and musical director, it hasn’t stopped him from being kept busy by the likes of Cindy Cashdollar, Willie Nelson, Zac Brown, Joss Stone, G. Love and Special Sauce, and Johnny Nicholas, to name just a few. Currently, you can catch Mike behind his Gretsch Brooklyn series drum kit on the road with The Weight Band, performing the songs of the Band, with Jim Weider, Marty Grebb, Brian Mitchell, and Albert Rogers.

I first met Cindy Cashdollar when I was shooting the documentary film BRASS, GLASS, & STEEL: THE MAKING OF ARLEN ROTH’S SLIDE GUITAR SUMMIT. She was in the middle of a small tour with Sonny Landreth, and they were stopping in to record a few tunes with Arlen at Starr Ridge Studios in Brewster, NY. She was gracious, professional, and incredibly focused. A few months later, I saw Cindy was at a small club in Vermont, The Red Foxx Inn. She was still on tour with Sonny, and seeing her live was incredible. If you haven’t caught her yet, find the next gig and get to it. Cindy was kind enough to have me at her home, where we kicked back on a gorgeous afternoon and reminisced about her career and being grounded by her parents during the Woodstock festival. She is proof that hard work and persistence pays off, as is evident by the long list of people she has played with; including Ryan Adams, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Dave Alvin, Rod Stewart, Albert Lee, Asleep At The Wheel, Marcia Ball, Jorma Kaukonen, Leon Redbone, BeauSoleil, Daniel Lanois, Redd Volkaert, & Peter Rowan.

Cindy Cashdollar joins me this week on the show. Cindy is a highly respected musician and sideperson, who has developed an incredible style and facility on the lap steel and dobro. Early on in her career, before she was really fluent on the lap steel, she got a gig with the popular western swing band Asleep At The Wheel, and had to really learn how to play that style on the fly. She ended up mastering the instrument, and her success as a player and sideperson to artists such as Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Dave Alvin, Van Morrison, Ryan Adams and many more is a testament to that fact. Cindy has released one album of her own called “Slide Show” that features some great performances with her and a number of high-profile slide and dobro players. She was also just nominated this week for an Americana Award for "Instrumentalist Of The Year"! I reached Cindy at her home in Woodstock, NY and we talked about those gigs I mentioned, the music that inspired her to pick up the guitar, growing up in Woodstock, getting in to blues and bluegrass, hooking up with Levon Helm and Rick Danko, and her trip through an 8 year stint with Asleep at the Wheel, to playing on Dylan’s 2007 masterpiece Time Out Of Mind.

For our 87th podcast, we talk Dobro and steel guitars with famed musician Cindy Cashdollar. Cashdollar walks us through some of her favorite instruments, including the Lap King guitar she brought to our session, explains how certain guitars seem to favor certain tunings and tells us about the huge impact that John Fahey's Of Rivers and Religion had on her guitar playing.
